Cannot access website (user name + password) on my puter either with Firefox or IE8 but can do so on another computer. Why so?

I need to access a website to read research papers. I use Win7, Firefox & have to allow cookies to enter.
I am denied access using my computer with valid user name and password but can get access using IE8 on a computer located elsewhere. What must I do to access this website on my machine?
Many thanks,
skeptic

  • Windows 7 Desktop synchronisation - Windows cannot access \\server\users\name\desktop

    Hi there
    My client has a laptop which won’t load the desktop when disconnected from the network. When you log on (while disconnected) you get the error
    “Windows cannot access \\server\users\name\desktop”
    Works as expected while connected to the network.
    The server is a Windows Small Business Server 2003 with active directory etc. and roaming profiles turned on. This issue does not occur on other workstations/laptops.
    When I check the Users folder on the local system drive there is not a desktop folder. I assume this is the issue although I’m not sure how you would force windows to create one or why one hasn’t been created?
    This is a brand new laptop so my initial reaction was to reset the laptop to factory state and then add the laptop back in to the domain. After this process the issue was still present!
    I guess the only thing I should mention is that this was shipped as a Home Premium laptop and was then upgraded to Professional using an upgrade key.
    I have checked Control Panel, System & Security, System, Advanced, User Profiles and the account shows as Local with Roaming Profiles greyed out.
    Any ideas?

  • Windows Security user name/password prompt when trying to remote access personal cloud storage device

    I have 2TB WD Book Live drive setup at home and is working fine, including remote accessing by internet. However using a colleague's computer at the office recently, her computer would always prompt me for Windows Security username and password. I've tried
    keying her admin user name/password and well as the router's admin/admin combinations and still doesn't allow me to access the cloud drive properly. However I have had no problem accessing the same drive remotely using other colleagues computers.
    The exact message prompt as follows: Windows Security. The server 192.168.1.1 is asking for your user name and password. The server reports that it is from index.htm. WARNING: Your user name and password will be sent using basic authentication on
    a connection that isn't secure.
    Please help me understand the problem and its solution. Thank you.

    Hi,
    The IP address 192.168.1.1 is your Router server address, isn't it? I doubt there should some limition in your colleague's system. Please check it. Also you can try to disable security software for test to access your cloud.
    The problem isn't your cloud server Authorization.

  • User name password

    i have a flash website and need to include a user name -
    password field with a submit button so clients can log on to a
    client page, so my cleint can log on and i can get paid. I've never
    done this in flash before, have tinkered with real basic stuff in
    asp and such, i've heard the most sucure way is using php. What i
    need to learn is how to make a simple log on in flash that when the
    user inputs the right information it will send them to the next
    page. So whats the best way to do this? is there a tutorial a
    beginner can understand somewhere, need this so i can set up a page
    so my cleints can log on and go to a page containing paypal links
    and possiably to include intitial links to cleints sample work and
    such, any ideas, need something quick.
    Currently you can see my problem at: www.designbytreitner.com
    At the top right it says payment, you click on that it brings
    you to a page, very tacky, very basic, and very unproffessional
    looking, not to mention unsucure. So how can i clean this up, with
    a simple user name password to access the client payment page to
    keep unwanted users out?

    Yes, i've heard there is a lot to know. I was leaning towards
    doing something with asp, php, text files or something simular
    because i have some knowledge of them. I have never done anything
    with mysql although my server does allow for it, and i beleive
    includes basic files, but i've never used or explored it. I won't
    be storing anything too sensative on the more secure log on section
    of my site . Just links to a paypal page were cleints can make
    payments to me, and some links to cliint work under development for
    them to reveiw. Although i'd like it as secure as possiable, my
    main purpose at this point is to keep out the average visitor,
    hackers can always find a way in, if they really want to. So my
    main goal at this point is to set up something that works, isn't to
    hard to do, and keeps the average visitor out unless they have the
    password. i'd like the basic stuff like buttons, text, and stuff in
    my flash movie, and the coding and password info and such in
    something like a text file, php, or something that can be put into
    a subfolder and used, so it's not out there with the main files and
    easily veiwable. so any ideas for a good tutorial, or method i
    could use, that isn't that hard to learn? I don't want to spend a
    month learning sql just to make a log buttons, i just want to use
    something i have a basic understanding of to make a clean usable
    set up in flash.

  • File Adapter - anonymous login (or )User name ,password login - Efficient?

    Hi Folks,
    In File Adapter processing , anonymous login (or) proper user name password based login is recommended ?
    Because we have faced many issue while using username based login in File adapter  .
    Which one is best ?
    Regards.,
    Shiva

    Hi Shiva ,
    We will go one by one :
    You can go for the Anonymous login  but the problem is the any body can access the FTP server and it is not the secure one,that is why business generally don't allow the Anonymous login.
    Coming to Proper user name password login ,I would advice you to use this one as the connection is more secure in this case.But this also comes with a problem that the username password generally expires after some time as per security policy and you have to change the username password for the FTP server as well as in File adapter which you are using.But this problem can be solved by going for a permanent username and password.
    I would recommend you to go for Proper user name and password.

  • POP3 -Keep asking for user name & Password

     
    Hi,
    We have exchange 2003 server with Service pack 2. We have user who check their mails through   Outlook 2003, Outlook web access & some users are using POP3 to download the messages.
    Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
    In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.
    Kindly advise.

    HI,
    This is happening mainly when
    1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.
    2. if user is using  OWA & when we try to configured his mail in Outlool with POP3 .
    See if i remove exchange attributes from user's account & then delete the users from AD & Recreated with same  user name, Password & reconnected  to that user to his old mailbox, it;s work fine.
    Regards,
    Chetan
    POP3 is enabled by default for all the users.

  • Auto-update: invalid user name / password

    Hello,
    I have changed out the CCO username and password for an IPS configured for auto-update but cannot get the IPS to correctly update its signature any longer.  I have verified that the CCO login is correct and that it can download a signature file directly using a web browser interface. However, every attempt to get the IPS to update automatically results in the following error:
    Auto Update Statistics
       lastDirectoryReadAttempt = 15:05:29 UTC Mon Sep 29 2014
        =   Read directory: https://72.163.4.161//cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl
        =   Error: invalid user name/password combination
    (Note: I have the URL set to 'www.cisco.com')
    Thanks,

    FYI - just to close my own issue.
    The issue was resolved by using the cli to set the values and perform a one-time update. Once that was successful, all future signature updates have worked fine through the gui.

  • 2nd gen appletv says movies not authorised/ user name/password not accepted on appletv

    This is so weird.
    I have home-shared and can play all un-DRM stuff e.g. music and personal movies. However, TV shows and Movies downloaded from iTunes won't play. It keeps asking me to authorize my computer on iTunes. The computer is however authorised and just to be double sure I have authorised multiple times (and get the message "this computer is already authorised"). I also de-auth'd and re-auth'd. This is all after updating both the AppleTV and iTunes to the most up-to-date versions.
    This is all happening with a Win7 PC so I home-shared from my Mac as well and exactly same thing. One other strange thing: I tried to sign in to iTunes on the AppleTv, just in case thats what is needed to get these things to play. It tells me my user name/ password is incorrect. This is the weirdest because it is the exact user name password I used to home-share and even buy the last TV show. I have repeatedly entered it so I am dead sure I have not entered it wrongly.
    Has anyone encountered and fixed something like this? Cold rebooting also has no effect at resolving.
    Thanks

    My id/password combo is ok - 100% sure.
    Took the bold step of resetting to factory defaults. Now it doesn't even sign in to itunes sharing from the AppleTV anymore: says id/password wrong. It was only iTunes saying this before. So now I can't even access stuff on my PC anymore. Yet at this very moment I'm downloading a movie on iTunes on the computer meaning I will only be able to see it on the computer.
    Quite disappointed in Apple!

  • Forgot my user name & password

    Hi
    Today I tried accessing my email accounts, entered into internet mail account, suddenly my user name and password were blank and I totally forogt them both. I never needed them in the past whenever adding or removing email account, therefore, I never memorized or wrote them down.
    Now, I am totally out from eamil settings becuase I forgot my internet mail account user name & password
    Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try again. Whoever you talked to is misinformed. From what you are describing, your BlackBerry Internet Service account credentials are what you need...and Orange manages that account for you. They indeed do have the ability to reset the account for you. They may have to shut it down and recreate it, but they can fix it. Indeed, ONLY they can fix it. If you get the same answer, be gently persistent and request escalation. Be sure you are using the correct terms...your BIS account credentials is what this is about. Your email account credentials are totally irrelevant.
    Good luck!

  • Question on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields in the MDT Wizard

    MDT 2012 U1
    Deploying Windows 7 via Offline Media (ISO) to MS Virtual PC's
    I am looking on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields which are prepopulated in the MDT wizard via the CS.ini (Not so concerned about the Domain field as I am User Name and Password)
    We do need the Computer Name and OU fields to be seen, so skipping the wizard is not a option
    The client just does not want these fields to be seen by the end users, they dont want them to even know the account name used for adding the machine to the domain, of course the password is not displayed but it must not be displayed either.
    But since we use the fields they must still  be fuctional just not seen.
    Thanks.....
    If this post is helpful please click "Mark for answer", thanks! Kind regards

    You shouldn't have to edit DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml. You should only need to add "SkipAdminPassword=YES" to the CS.ini file and your authentication information.
    Example:
    [Settings]
    Priority=Default
    Properties=MyCustomProperty
    [Default]
    OSInstall=Y
    SkipCapture=NO
    SkipAdminPassword=YES
    UserID=<MyUserID>
    UserPassword=<MyPassword>
    UserDomain=<MyDomain.com>
    SkipProductKey=NO
    SkipComputerBackup=YES
    SkipBitLocker=NO
    -Nick O.
    Nick,
    SkipAdminPassword=YES is for:
    You can skip the Administrator Password wizard page by using this property in the
    customsettings.ini.
    I am hidding the Username/Password/and domain field in the computer name Wizard pane which is read from the cs.iniDomainAdmin=xxxxx
    DomainAdminPassword=xxxxx
    DomainAdminDomain=xxxxxx
    JoinDomain=xxxxxx

  • HT1515 Will Airport Express work in hotels in China? They require user name/password to connect. Has anyone used one there?

    I will be traveling in China with my iPad2 and want to use hotel wireless. It requires a sign-in with user name/password.  Can I use an Airport Express for this purpose? How do I set it up for that? I have an old Express (pre-2007); can I use it or do I need to upgrade to the new model?

    OK - I have never been to China but the posts here say that it can be done - the cable from the hotel should be connected to the WAN port of the Express - the Express should be in bridge mode and set to create a wireless network with a name and password of your choice - you can do this with a computer before you leave for China or with the iPad if you have previously downloaded the Airport Utility app - you would then connect to your network and attempt to bring up a web page such as Google - the hotel should then intervene and ask you for the login info that they have provided.
